The Georgia Bulldogs lost freshman DT Derrick Lott for the season. Lott had surgery to his right ankle this past Friday in Athens, Georgia. Since Lott did not play in the season opener, Lott will apply to the NCAA for a medical redshirt giving him 4 remaining years of eligibility. Look out for Lott next season, he will make a lot of noise. In the meantime, the Bulldogs faithful should have no fear as Jeff Owens and Geno Atkins...
For you Southern Miss fans, please stand-up and applause when WR DeAndre Brown (#5) runs onto the field to face UCF. As a freshman, Brown set school records with 67 receptions and 12 touchdowns. He led the Golden Eagles straight to the New Orleans Bowl where, in a snap, his season and possibly his career ended. After nine months of intense rehab, Brown fully recovered and he is ready to ignite the Golden Eagles offense. Coach Larry Fedora is...
Linebacker U will be without one of the best LBs in the nation in Navorro Bowman. Bowman suffered a groin injury early in the season opener against Akron. For precautionary reasons, JoePa is going to sideline the stud LB and start redshirt sophomore Nathan Stupar. Whichever LB is plugged-in to fill the void, playing against Syracuse won’t make much of a difference. The Orange don’t have enough firepower on offense to make a dent in the strong Nittany Lions...
For The Matador, sports gambling is about making money. I’m not betting on college football games just to bet, I’m betting on games to pay rent. The Matador’s philosophy is quite simple, DO NOT BET ON MULTIPLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES. Statistics will prove, that in the end, you will lose. Most websites list a handful of college games to bet on per week and then they advertise their lock of the week for extra money. If the handicapper is so sure of...
In a highly anticipated match-up this weekend (hahahaha), Florida’s Urban Meyer has listed LB Dustin Doe and CB Janoris Jenkins as eligible to play in Saturday’s game against Troy. As you recall, Doe (arrested for driving on a suspended license) and Jenkins (resisting arrest) both sat out during the home opener due to off-the-field incidents. The outcome of this game won’t be much different with or without Doe and Jenkins, but both players do need to get some real playing time before the...
No one is safe under the arms of Touchdown Jesus. Just ask STP legend and huge Notre Dame fan Scott Weiland. It appears that Weiland suffered damage to his mug as a result of tailgating at last weeks Notre Dame v. Nevada game. The Matador has not confirmed, but sources do reveal that Weiland, who is also an avid partier, could not handle tailgating with throwing the pigskin. Apparently, one of his “buddies” threw a rocket aimed directly at Weiland’s face during...
Former Michigan State Spartan Hubert Thompson was just declared insane by an Illinois judge. On March 30, 2007, Thompson lost a screw and threw his 66 year old neighbor, James Malone, off of the 3rd floor apartment balcony because he thought Malone was trying to kill him. As a result of the fall, Malone died. Thompson was charged with murder and after a long trial was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Thompson will still be punished and...
In an attempt to better rest his players and to have more control over his team, North Alabama Coach Terry Bowden is requiring his entire team to be seated during the game. If you noticed during last week’s home opener, every player on the sideline was seated. The players are not only required to sit, but they actually have to sit in their assigned seats. At first, The Matador thought this rule was bizarre, but in retrospect it actually makes...
